The Revelation

I talk a lot. I talk on stage. I talk to my friends. I talk to myself. I write on the paper. I type. I draw. I color. Constantly. And it's not even close to enough. It's never enough because 'talking' is the only way to make sense of my surroundings. It's the only way for me to take a moment, be present, and think! 

Well, yeah. It's kind of all about me. What can I say? I can be pretty self-centered. And who reads blogs these days, anyway? Who takes the time to read and comment? We're all about Retweet and Report these days! All about in or out! black or white! We're all about speed, numbers, and labels! We're all mini entrepreneurs, running our personal businesses of being individuals! It's hard work! Picking labels, diets, facial routines, and brands, being 'ethical' AND trendy! Shopping is hard work! And now I really hope you're a fan of sarcasm!

I tell you what happened. I was taking a shower when I realized I need to have a blog and not any blog: I need to have a blog, where I can write to you. You. The imaginary reader, of many books, many philosophies, and many love poems. 

We all need someone like you. Someone, whom one does not know. Someone, who does not know one.  I'm so obsessed with Glissant's concept of opacity, these days! I'm still trying to understand it, but I'm pretty sure, one day I'll fully get it. 

And you, dear (imaginary) reader, who makes my words less useless, now that I know exactly where to find you, I'd be back, and I'll tell you all about OPACITY!
